“I’ve owned at least two inductive keyboards, each costing more than twice the price of the Magcore65, but none of them sound or feel as good, so I’m sticking with this one.”

“This thing is pure quality from the software all the way to the build itself. It's got a lot of heft to it and the material is very nice. The Keychron software is amazing too, there is no app or anything you just go to the Keychron launcher on your browser…”
